I've looked at other threads regarding themes and they're either related to Linux or launch straight into jargon that requires an advanced knowledge of Windows. I'm not a complete newbie, so could someone kindly give me some advice as to whether or not I can change the theme to something easier on the eye? Thanks.

first thing you need to do is make your own theme copy one of the themes and rename the folder to something like mytheme

in there you will find a file called gtkrc, open that up with a text file and modifythese 4 lines # Background, basegtk_color_scheme = "bg_color:#F5F5F5\nselected_bg_color:#8DCCF0\nbase_color:#FFFFFF" # Foreground, text gtk_color_scheme = "fg_color:#3C4343\nselected_fg_color:#1E2222\ntext_color:#3C4343" # Tooltips gtk_color_scheme = "tooltip_bg_color:#B7DB67\ntooltip_fg_color:#F5F5F5"# Other colors gtk_color_scheme = "theme_color_04:#a9a49c\ntheme_color_26:#292421\ntheme_color_27:#C7C7C7"

the ones with # at the start of the lines are comments, so ignore them

they are pretty self explanatory, they are the colors of the interface, for example selected_bg_color:#8DCCF0 is when a torrent is selected and becomes blue and the text becomes dark. selected_fg_color:#1E2222soselected_bg_color:#8DCCF0 is backgroundselected_fg_color:#1E2222 is text fg is foreground and usually refers to text.

use an online color picker and what colors you want, if you google a hex color a color picker will appear under the search

after you have changed the colors

go into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Deluge\etc\gtk-2.0 folderand in there you again find a gtkrc folder open that up and changegtk-theme-name = "DelugeStart"into gtk-theme-name = "mytheme"

mytheme is the name of the folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Deluge\share\themes
